With changing times and innovative technologies most schools and universities have become flexible in accommodating a personalized way of learning for children. This helps them understand a child’s true potential and improves their approach to their learning. This also helps children learn in a fun way and gives them an opportunity to explore their true potential on their own. A flexible approach towards a child’s learning gives mentors an open door to help understand the child’s need and helps them guide in a more meaningful way based on the child’s understanding. It emphasizes student agency, self-directed learning and the use of technology to create customized learning experiences.

Kumon plays a vital role in improving a student’s ability by using an individualized approach towards learning. At Kumon we want your child to learn at their own pace with enough time to explore and self-learn. The self-learning skills acquired by a student over time gives them a life –long learning experience. Our after-school program helps children learn independently. Their confidence gets boosted, and they perform better. We are open to blended learning where they can combine both traditional paper pencil methods along with online tools to create a dynamic learning environment that adapts to each student’s learning pace and style.

Connecting students and teachers across the globe through virtual learning, most of the institutes have opened new horizons for rich exchange of ideas by breaking the geographical barriers through use of technology. Giving students project-based learning modules to enhance their critical thinking, problem solving ability and being able to collaborate with other students to exchange ideas is also a new shift towards flexible learning that has been adapted by many institutes rather than regular rote memorization. Regular feedback and assessments given by mentors help to ensure that students are on the right track and can address challenges promptly.

Kumon gives our instructors and students an opportunity to exchange ideas. Communicating with the parent and child gives an opportunity to understand the child’s requirements. At Kumon we can help students adapt to their way of learning as per their pace and understanding. This not only gives them an opportunity to explore their learning, but also improves their skills. Working on our Math and English program also helps in their overall development. This program has also adapted as per technology and is moving with time.
